An engineering service is required to perform the structural analysis of the Arco Cachí dam, which to date has 56 years of normal operation. To guarantee the safety of the dam for about 50 more years, it is intended to generate the evaluation of the structural performance of the Cachí dam under current conditions, specifically oriented to seismic conditions and overdraft during the design avenue. If the structural assessment indicates that an intervention is required, the repair proposals must be presented – at a general level – according to the shortcomings found. For this purpose, it is required to hire a company that provides the experts to advise and validate the analysis that the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) must develop.
